We will be happy to advise and guide you in the following areas about your house sale: -

1. whether or not you should sell your property before the purchase of an alternative property;
2. the choice of Estate Agents for the marketing of your property;
3. how to deal with viewers and, in particular, how to deal with any viewers who try to negotiate the price with you;
4. how to deal with Surveyors when they survey your property;
5. how to respond to any offer that is received with a time limit for acceptance. We will, if you wish, conduct any negotiation with the Purchaser’s solicitor on your behalf to try and make sure that the property is sold at the best price;
